He alone is the strong rock
    where I can hide and be safe.
With him, nothing will make me fall.

How long will you all continue to attack me?
I am just one man,
    and you want to kill me!
You want to knock me down,
    like a weak wall or a fence that is falling down.[a]
You only want to push me off my high place.
You love to tell lies to deceive people.
When you say words to bless people,
    you are cursing them in your thoughts.
Selah.

How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,(E) this tottering fence?
Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.[a](F)
